Seasoned Edamame and Beans

Edamame is a high-protein, iron-rich bean that can be found in the frozen food section of most supermarkets. Smoked salt is equally good with this recipe, which makes a great afternoon snack.

1/2 cup (125 mL) frozen, shelled edamame
1/2 cup (125 mL) yellow beans, quartered
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 teaspoon (2 mL)
fleur de sel or other coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon (0.5 mL) cayenne pepper
1 tsp (5 mL) dried oregano

Prepare edamame according to package directions. Meanwhile, steam yellow beans until tender. Drain edamame and mix with beans, lemon juice, salt, cayenne, and oregano.
